Seafood Canada

Seafood Canada was the brainchild of entrepreneurs Dary Côté and Denis Fortin, proud of fish the from their native region, the Gaspé Peninsula

At the age of 16, he left his birthplace to settle in Montreal and pursue a career in the construction industry. Dary could never get the Gaspésie out of his mind. For a while, the entrepreneur traveled back and forth between the metropolis and the village where he grew up. Each time, he brought back fish in his luggage.

Astonished to discover that there is no Gaspesian fish or seafood on the shelves of Montreal’s supermarkets, Dary made a commitment to introduce Gaspesians foods to the Canadians. To do so, he created the company Seafood Canada. In light of its success, he joined forces with his childhood friend and entrepreneur, Denis Fortin.

Our fish and seafood are easy to spot. They are available in the Seafood Canada’s wooden display designed carpenter Dary Côté. Woods reminds him two strong symbols of the Gaspé Peninsula, fishing and forestry industry.

Each display carries the Seafood Canada logo in addition to projecting photos of this wonderful corner of the country on a screen. The catches, deposited in the displays, came straight from the waters of the Gaspésie, the North Shore and the Magdalen Islands. Côté and Fortin are adamant. The fish and seafood from these three regions are distinguished by their taste and the firmness of their flesh. To what are these characteristics attributable? To the limpidity of the water of the St. Lawrence River and its falling mercury, entrepreneurs say.

Seafood Canada products are available in Sobeys supermarket he province as well as in a variety of independent Dary Côté and Denis Fortin are connected to some 15 partners from fishers to processors to packagers.
